Princess Charlotte and Prince William have delighted royal fans with a special Euro 2022 final message on social media.
England’s Lionesses play Germany in this evening’s (Sunday July 31) tournament final match after breezing past Sweden earlier this week.
Following that semi-final game on Tuesday, the Duke of Cambridge offered his congratulations to the players via Twitter and Instagram.
Many fans recalled how William, Kate Middleton and Prince George attended last year’s Euro 2020 men’s final at Wembley.
And there were subsequently requests for William – President of the Football Association – and his family to be at the ground again for the Lionesses.

However, many of those respondents also suggested Princess Charlotte, said to be a keen goalkeeper, should be there, too.
But while there is no confirmation the seven-year-old will watch the match unfold live at Wembley, she certainly seems to be backing the Lionesses.
